album will age very well going forward dont worry
If this will be enough to make artists stop trying at large (which it won’t be, most don’t try anyway and those who will try will try anyway), then that’s more of a reflection of them being pussies than anybody who doesn’t like the album being some villain who’s killing artistic expression
Would probably be labels that would discourage it (and they already do)
There's a reason experimental stuff either comes from the underground or from artists too big to fail
Ops really pretending to like the album so their favs have less people beating them out you cant make this s*** up 🤣🤣
Means nothing whatsoever for music as a whole but Drake might be a little more gunshy from here on out, which would be disappointing. I like when Drake tries something different.
I think you're making good points but tbh the fact that it is Drake specifically sharpens the s***-talking, whereas another artist probably actually would get a little more leeway, at least if they aren't also a very public superstar who is so fun to mock
Really fair point.

This is more of what I was getting at. I know dude will do numbers next drop regardless. But it's nice to see artist in a somewhat creative space. Music be feeling stale asf.
I don't care what it sells. I'm talking critically, I think a lot of artist will see damn not even Drake can switch up like that and have it unscathe him and they'll be afraid of trying.
Tbh bro I think Drake knew the reception it would get and he didn’t give af. He realized if he left it up to the fans he would be making scorpions and clb’s until he dies
there is no reason to ever listen to what fantano has to say about drake. his fanbase are the anti drake type, he has to have that opinion

This is somewhat true but I feel as tho smaller artists or artists coming up can do so, but if you’re a solidified act and you veer off your path and make your fans play catch up with you, you’ll hurt a bit.
it will be much different going forward because there is so much more music out there rn. You’re 100% spot on
I like the album a lot, but why are we acting like this is the first album to get panned upon release?
Because all I saw on twitter for a week was this drake album sucks so bad to “wow this s*** is actually good”
I’ve never seen another artist go thru that, only other person is probably Kanye. But they’re the pinnacle of music going forward anyways so
It’s just not a good album. I grew up on house music and Baltimore club music and I can appreciate what Drake is doing trying to highlight it, but the songs on here leave a lot to be desired. I do like the instrumentals though. If I want to hear house or club music, I’m not turning this on simple as that. It’s a solid 5.5-6 for me.
Kanye did it better with Fade
Baltimore club is so much different from other types of house music tho, also he probably takes more influences from overseas house, especially South Africa.
Bro the album sucks and it flopped
It’s fine
Drake gonna come back to the drawing board and try again next year
How did it flop?
All Drake Stans did was s*** on Kendrick fans for being pretentious and now they are doing the same thing they hate. Giving all kind of reasons for why someone does not like an album other than them simply thinking it is not good. It’s crazy.
Nah I loved the Kendrick album tho, that’s a small minority. Most people who love drake love Kendrick.
Can’t say it’s Kendrick’s best project but the main themes he got off on that album were spot on. He was creating art and incorporated a few new sounds on his project, he was creatively there. And I would say the same for drake. Is it their best s***? No. Will they keep creating art? Yes, it’s an ongoing process. Everyone of Picassos paintings weren’t the best of all time, they served purposes at every point in time. And that’s how you should take any artists music, grow with it.

True, and we don’t want that as we grow even older, times change and emotions change.

Except 808s was actually a new sound whereas HN is just generic house music
dude just called drake brave
